Chapter 282 The First Action
In this environment, the little wizards all put in their best efforts.
The encirclement and suppression of acromantula is no longer just about personal honors such as improving personal combat strength and experience, but has risen to competition between colleges.
Everyone was unwilling to admit defeat, especially the students of Gryffindor and Slytherin.
Led by their respective college professors and other teaching professors, they went to the outside of the Forbidden Forest to fight the Acantaraman as planned.
Aiwen still remembers that his first action was on the first Friday afternoon in February.
In that operation, the second and third grade Gryffindor students were divided into groups, and everyone gathered together excitedly, led by Sirius to the Forbidden Forest.
Contrary to the impatient little wizards, Ron looked very nervous.
He still hasn't recovered from the horror. Spiders are what he fears the most, not to mention the acromantula, which is magnified several times in size, is simply a nightmare.
Hermione was as nervous as Ron. She hoped to gain more knowledge about fighting the acromantula from the book, but it was a waste of effort.
This is not something she reads and remembers by heart, it's not like she hasn't tried it.
While having breakfast on Friday, she began to keep chanting to Ivan about the content she read from books such as where are the magical creatures, common fighting skills, and two hundred common ways to deal with dangerous magical animals, which annoyed Ivan. It's choking.
He hoped to reassure Hermione, but it didn't do much. Hermione flipped through the spellbooks distractedly, and after discovering that she was sharing the experiences in the books, Neville and Colin listened intently to every word she said.
They eagerly hope to hear some useful knowledge, so that they will not be so flustered in the upcoming battle.
People did know a lot from her, but the others were pretty happy when Hermione's speech was interrupted by the arrival of the owl mail.
At two o'clock that afternoon, Ivan, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Colin, Ginny and other little wizards of Gryffindor in the second and third years left the castle, and they crossed the gate in front of the oak gate. venue, hurried into the Forbidden Forest.
It was a clear, breezy day, and the tall black trees and green sprouts that had just emerged in the Forbidden Forest swayed and rattled in the wind, with no end in sight. Everyone stared closely at Sirius in front of the team, their expressions were both nervous and excited.
"A few days ago, I led the senior students to fight against the acromantula." Sirius raised his wand and said loudly, "Remember, these creatures are very dangerous and they are extremely aggressive. We You must be vigilant!"
"I knew it!" Ron muttered palely, "ask us to fight the acromantula, those crazy centaurs"
"But you don't have to worry too much. There are not many acromantids outside the Forbidden Forest, and they are not very huge." The end of Sirius' wand glowed white. He waved his wand and continued, "As long as Follow my orders and nothing will happen."
"What should we do, Professor Black?" Neville asked tremblingly.
"It's very simple, first find a lone acromantula, and I will show you several spells that are very useful for them." Sirius said, "Then you will be divided into different groups, and you will be in the nearby woods. Fight the giant acromantula you encounter. Remember not to act alone, or go too far, go deep into the forbidden forest, and if you encounter any accidents, you can use your magic wand to send a signal to the sky, and I will rush there as soon as possible."
"Sounds really easy"
"Be careful!" Hermione said sharply, "According to the records in the book Where are the Fantastic Beasts, acromantulas are good at lurking, they will quietly hide in the shadows of trees, and attack the passing prey , or pop out suddenly when you are not paying attention."
Hearing her words, everyone hurried away from the tall tree trunks around them.
The little wizards huddled in the narrow bushes, clinging tightly to each other, guarding each other.
Holding up their wands, they raised their heads and looked suspiciously at the surrounding treetops, as if an acromantula would come out to attack soon.
Neville tripped over the vines on the ground because he didn't pay attention to his feet.
The sudden accident caused everyone to fall into inexplicable panic, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.
Seeing that Hermione wanted to continue, Ivan hurried over and whispered, "Don't be so nervous, Hermione! As long as I'm here, you won't be in danger!"
"I'm not nervous, I'm just not ready yet" Hermione whispered, feeling Ivan's breath and caring tone, her face was slightly red
"These monsters are very dangerous, and no one can guarantee that they are ready." Ron glanced at Ivan and Hermione, and continued, "Being careful will never make a mistake. Who knows if these monsters will?"
"You should be braver and treat them as ordinary spiders." Harry pointed to Ginny not far away, "Look at Ginny, she's not as nervous as you are."
Ginny didn't look around like the others, but pulled Colin and asked Sirius, who was at the front of the team, some details related to the battle with the acromantula.
"She was very courageous from the beginning!" Ron looked away from Ginny, looked at Ivan and Hermione again, and then looked around the tall trees uneasily like the others, whispering, "I've never seen her have anything to be afraid of."
After a few more minutes, after a short period of confusion, everyone gradually calmed down.
They followed Sirius further into the woods, and after walking for about five minutes, they encountered a lone acromantula behind a big tree with dense foliage.
It has just come out of the nest and is ready to hunt for prey in the nearby woods.
After seeing Sirius and the mighty group of little wizards behind him, the acromantula was obviously stunned for a moment, then turned around quickly and wanted to escape.
But Sirius didn't give it a chance, and directly used the petrification spell to petrify it.
Then, he took this giant eight-eyed spider as an example, and explained to the little wizards every weakness of this creature in detail, and introduced several very practical spells.
After the explanation, Sirius lifted the magic on the acromantula.
Under his care, the little wizards stepped forward in turn. Everyone took turns casting the newly learned spell on the acromantula, trying to overcome their fear of the creature.
Under the attack, the acromantula's body was covered with scars. It made high-density clicks, clicks that made the scalp tingling, and its body trembled constantly, trying to escape.
It was a waste of effort, though, and every time it showed its intention to flee, a red light shone from the end of Sirius' wand, forcing it back into the center again. To be continued.
